Bruce - Using velcro is a great suggestion. Thanks

Where did you source it?

I got it from Classic Industries. I caught it with a 20% off discount code which brought the price below $230 before shipping. I checked and don't see any currently active discount codes.

I received an email last night with a new 20% discount code at Classic Industries. The code is MDN14 and it is valid through the end of March.

Bob,

I decided to do my shoulder harness the later way.

Must be deluxe has different headliner too? What do you think?

Before: I needed to get the "bra strap" sewn in. So, I tried this...



After:



Now, I have a funny place to hang my coat...

[Bentwheelbob]

That looks good. They definitely moved to a better system. Certainly is hard to get a good picture of these belts isn't it. The light exposure is too challenging for most phone cameras.

I am not sure about the headliner. I believe NJSteve mentioned that the Black Car headliner was "incorrect" having been replaced most likely when it got repainted in 1985.

...

Your car does have the correct headliner.

I too love the rear console, and will likely buy one for my car

[Norwood]

I like it

[unruhjonny]

can anyone confirm, or disprove the correct style deluxe rear package tray fir 1972?

I guess I could look in my MPC to see what it says, but all the repop catalogs are of no help...

Deluxe 72 is NOT mesh, that is a fact.. Have not seen mesh on any 72 I have parted, thats standard, Esprit ( mandatory deluxe) or Formula, or T/A ( S, T, U or V)
but never say never, a early one, built in Sept 71, ya never know....

I want to keep it and still install it..can we all agree that it was a mistake on my part...I had the standard tray..but I also had standard interior..the mesh is nice as no speaker cover but thanks for clearing that up FB

So then, my memory WAS working;
I didn't want to put something out there, be wrong, and no one say anything.

Thanks for the reply

I LIKE THE 72 ASSEMBLY MANUAL FOR DETAIL..THEN LOOK TO THE PARTS BOOK FOR DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE HARDWARE..I PREFER A PAPER BOOK TOO..THESE DRAWINGS & PART #S SHOW DIFFERANT LENGTH BOLTS..BUT IN REAL LIFE THE ASSEMBLERS (AS FAR AS I HAVE CHECKED) USED THE COMMON #....314 INNER FENDER BOLTS USED ALL OVER THE FRONT OF THE CAR..ALSO SEE THE SPECIAL SELF TAPPING SCREWS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE VALANCE TO THE BUMPER..THESE SCREWS ARE ALSO USED ON THE GRILLS TO THE BRACKETS..AGAIN SAME HARDWARE NEAR THE SAME LOCATION

[transam1972]

AGAIN YOU WILL MOST LIKELY REUSE YOUR STEEL VALANCE TO CORE SUPPORT HARDWARE...WE WILL BE CERTAIN TO USE WASHERS AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO...SINCE I AM ALSO INSTALLING A FRONT SPOILER, SLIGHTLY LONGER BOLTS ARE CALLED FOR IN THE ASSEMBLY MANUAL..BUT AGIN IN REAL LIFE THE ASSEMBLERS JUST USED #..314..NOT LIKE THEY WOULD CAREFULLY CHOOSE A LONGER BOLT FOR A SPOILER!!..FORMULA BRUCE SAYS SOMTHING LIKE A CAR EVERY 45 SECONDS!!??

Sometimes we forget that Steve is an educated lawyer and just dose this car thing so he can hang with us and look smart.

Sometimes I just can't believe that I come up with this stuff......

[The Boss]

You do nice work!

[Bentwheelbob]

We also got the amber park light lenses polished in anticipation of the valance work. I used the same 3M headlight restoration kit that was used on the taillights, but then I broke out the 3" R/O polisher and the Griot compounds to finish it up. They came out really good, but the right side lens has some rally deep rock chips that were not removed. Regardless, they look much better and I like the fact they appear to be original. These were the one piece units. Here's the before and after.

Boss-Go UConn. However, if they face KY your on your own.

[70RAlll]

Bob.. those really look good. great job on polishing..
